Okay, so I've been using these Paper Mate Profile pens for a while now and I gotta say - they're pretty awesome!
The 1.4mm bold point is perfect for my handwriting (which tends to be on the messy side). The ink flows super smooth and makes even my scribbles look decent.
What I really love is the soft grip. I write A LOT for work (like, seriously way too much), and these don't give me that hand cramp feeling like some other pens do.
They do run out of ink faster than some finer-point pens, but honestly? Worth it for how good they feel to write with. I go through about one every week at work.
Only downside - occasionally one will stop writing before it's totally out of ink. But at this price point, I can live with that.
Final verdict? Best pens I've found for everyday writing. Sorry Cross, but Paper Mate has stolen my heart (and signature space)!
